Rjohns94, When I first saw this incredible offer, I was one of the first to say count me in. However, after rereading the offer and thinking about this for awhile I would like to ask that you: Please withdraw my name from considration While I don't have a 45/70 and would dearly love to own a Sharps,...

Please put my name in the hat. I really appreciate the oppertunity.

Phideaux

Well done, and by the way congraulations on the weight loss. I'm sure you're moving through the woods a little easier.

Phideaux

Bigahh, be sure and take your camera along when you go back in the spring. Sounds like a place we would all love to see.

Another great story .... Amen to that. I always appreciate the photos and the stories that go with them

Thanks, for posting

I like it! Having once owned a Toyota FJ-40 I could love this. Wonder what the cost is?

Like JRD, I have a 1916 vintage with the exact same markings, mine is also a Century Arms, St. Albans marked gun. Mine is in a little worse condition, way to much polishing before the reblue. I have not been able to find any information about the gun either, please post any additional information yo...

As others have said, mine is as reliable as the day is long but accuracy is just okay. I have Ruger 20 and 30 round magazines that work great and I guess I was lucky as I have about 4 after market mag.s that work well also.

Hi Kirk, great photographs all, but I like 2 & 4 the best. Seems like the board attracts my attention in photo 1.

I'm sure that each of us will have different opinions but the .357 is a great woods gun, if you live in the East. If I lived in the plains or Mt. West if would loose some of its luster. You're asking for opinions so if it were me, I would ditch the 9mm stuff, keep the .357 and carry the revolver. Ph...

I'll have to agree with JB. Mine looked great and worked super but was not as accurate as say my Marlin 39.

Phideaux

Very informative, thanks for sharing.

Those top two fellows look like the could be some of my in-laws!

The picture looks like they are the real deal. Thanks for sharing.

For anyone who may be interested, I found some information at Brownells. The standard dove tail angle is 60 degrees. The 65 degree angle is used on some after market sights for the 1911 handgun. Knowing the correct angle is essential for fitting a new sight. I had both 60 & 65 degree files, I ha...

Does anyone know the angle within the Dove Tail, specifically the front sight dove tail, for Marlins and Winchesters? I believe it is either 60 or 65 degrees.

Thanks,
Phideaux

In my opinion the best inexpensive photo editor is Adobe Photoshop Elements. I think is on version 8 at this time. It will do just about anything you want and is not to difficult to use. You can find it for about $80.00. As others have mentioned their are some others available, just depends on what ...

My other job is a wildlife photographer, the first time I saw a Therma Cell we were in a blind in Lousiana. I had a "bug-shirt" on sweating like a pig and still getting bit on my hands and any other exposed parts. My buddy's son had told him about them and he lit his up. The rest of our ti...

Great work Joe! Where else can you get this kind of information.

What a great story, little did we know you were a famous writer too.

Kirk, that's great shooting with open sights! Looks like you have your load.

Unfortunatly this is becoming a real problem in Florida. Many exotic breeds are now established in South Florida and their range is expanding northward. My friends at the FWC don't forsee us getting rid of them either.

I have one with the matching 22 LR cylinder. Great little K frame 22 mine was made in 1976 according to Supica. I don't shoot the magnums in it that often but the little Speer shot shells are nice.

"What can I do with my levergun?" Best advice I can give you is just SHOOT IT!!!

Phi

Thanks guys. Just what I wanted to know, from two guys whose opinion I respect.

Larry A. aka Phideaux

Can anyone give me a heads-up on the correct bullet size for a Winchester Mdl. 92, vintage 1916, in 44-40? I see bullets available in .427, .429 and .431, what size are you using when handloading? I think the original load was with a .427 bullet but so far I have only shot commerical cowboy loads, w...

Range Rider, the great pictures you post are one of the pleasures of following this forum. I don't post much, but I really appreciate seeing these and reading the history.

I have order parts for older Winchesters from them and have never had any problems. Hope all goes well with your order.

RR, I don't know where you find the photos, but I really like seeing them. Please keep posting.

While I have not used the predator calls, I have used the I-Pod with external speakers to call wild birds in close to photograph them. There is a company in Atlanta that sells the bird calls and many wildlife photographers are using them to lure birds within range to photograph. Small and compact th...

Kirk, that is an office we can all aspire to having someday. Makes staying indoors tolerable!

Phideaux

Many thanks for the replies. I don't see anything that looks like British proof marks or any other proof marks, except for the original Winchester proofs.

Phideaux

Yeah Hobie, thats my typo, it's a 44 WCF. That was my assumption also that it was re-imported by Century. Just wondered if that was common or ? Anyway wonder where it could have been.

Thanks,
Phideaux

Hi Folks, long time lurker here but now I have a question maybe someone can help with. I recently acquired a Winchester Mdl. 1892 in 40 WCF and the serial number would say it was made about 1918. When cleaning up the gun I noticed, on the receiver under the lever, its stamped Century Arms St. Albans...
